Question

Which enzyme did not affect transformation in avery macleod mccarty experiment?

Answer 1

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty, that DNA is the substance that causes bacterialtransformation, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was proteins that served the function of carrying genetic.

Answer 2

Answer:

The enzyme which do not affect transformation in avery macleod mccarty experiment is protein- digesting enzymes (proteases) and RNA-digesting enzymes (RNases) .

Explanation:

Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty

inorder to reveal the biochemical nature of the transforming principle conducted experiments. They  form the heat-killed S cells purified biochemical (proteins, DNA and RNA) form the heat-killed S cells.

They wanted to see which one of them was able to transform the R strain. So, they discovered that protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) and RNA-digesting enzymes (RNases) did not affect transformation but DNase inhibits transformation. Therefore, they concluded that it was the DNA that was able to transform the R strain.
